There that will keep the hooligans out.
ya think they remembered to lock that door?
LOL
They had been told to cut back use of red tape.
Seen this in a couple MARTA train stations here in Atlanta, except minus the tape. Just a glassless window.
Evidently fires are so frequent here that a cheaper alternative to a pane of glass is some duct tape. At least they dont need a hammer to get at the fire fighting equipment.
Only Groundskeeper Willie could have made this since no other would see the purpose of the vertical duct.
humm….looks like a lawsuit WIN, who wants to be sued because they cut themselves on the broken glass while putting out the fire.
–but also a FAIL cause you’d pull all your arm hair out getting to that fire extinguisher.
Seriously, WHY?
Where there is glass, they have a hammer attached to the panel; now, shouldn’t they put scissors here?
Their one page to the left.
He started running the tape vertical, but quickly abandoned the task to go play with matches.
*CRASH* What? Oh, that was just your toast? Um, OK…*sneaks away*
In case of fire. Snip tape.
thats right waldo.. you cant hide ^^^

If you found me, you must also be lost.
Remember if women don’t find oyu handsome they can at least find oyu handy.
The best security system ever. If a hooligan tries to grab something inside, the duct tape will stick to his arms.
Have you ever tried to remove duct from your arm. THE PAIN. (especially if you have hairy arms)
The day the maintenance guy realized he can save his employers money by not replacing the safety glass. He hopes to get that saved money in his pay check next week
But what about the money he could be saving with Geico?
So your telling me that i have to go through duct tape first before i can put out the fire… Well screw that let the building burn, i am not going to endanger my beloved arm hair to rescue a building.
Sorry, folks! Safty regulations forbid the use of glass in our “break glass” boxes. Because we are now using duct tape, the strongest substance in the universe, we will now be replacing our signs around the boxes with new ones that say “In case of fire, you’re screwed!”
I love it. I really do. I mean, by the time you’ve figured out the damn duct tape and actually opened the door, the fire is too big for the extinguisher to put out. So they provide you with your own fire hose. Of course, by the time any average person figures that thing out, the fire department has arrived and you’ve ruined you new Levi’s trying to save lives. Brilliant.
In case of tape, break wind.
Well, siimple and secure, no?
Had the numbskull reinforced the lower tape bar in a similar fashion as the top tape bar, it probably wouldn’t have failed prematurely…. egads!…engineering 101.
its funny that you say “engineering 101″ because I actually know where this picture was taken. its from the ENGINEERING building at the university i go to.
Nah, you’re all wrong. That’s just what we do to our glass windows to prepare for hurricanes. Except they didn’t make it in the form of a big “X”.
I can’t contemplate what its about. Where a kludge usually has purpose, the tape prevents nothing.
This would look even stupider if it had “Police Do not cross” tape across it. Hate to be the guy who was accused of Arson even though he was trying to put out the fire.
The door has a handle…
because you have to break something in the case of a fire.
beats getting cut by glass…
If they just left the tape off, it would draw less attention. People would think it was really clean glass. For the cost of a cup of coffee they could hire a homeless person to come by and pretend to polish the non-existent glass.
